277: Chapter 277 The Gods' Game vs. The Gods' Blessing

"Everyone, welcome to... my game."

As a clear voice swept past, the steel fortresses that had been destroyed by the native creatures reassembled one by one.

Unlike the resurrection of undead summoning, those mechs, Thors, and bombers were just like new, without even a trace of scorching.

Even the ground level, which had been leveled a hundred meters by a Rank 5 Divine Faith Art, was restored to its original state, as if the previous great war had never happened.

"This... how was this done!"

The ten Leviathan Academy students, whose true bodies were far away in the insect hives, were incredibly shocked as they watched through the vision of their subordinates.

"Is it space-time travel? No... I didn't feel any change in the time around me."

One consciousness subconsciously muttered:

"To even be able to restore a destroyed world... this is an assessment world, how on earth did he do it..."

"..."

The other nine elites of the academy also fell into a momentary silence.

It wasn't that they couldn't accept failure, but they couldn't accept not even being able to understand what was happening.

Doesn't this mean that the opponent's knowledge is already far superior to theirs!

"Strange..."

On the other side, Saintess Jiang Nian, who had always been confident of victory, frowned slightly for the first time.

The death energy in her left eye faded, and a faint golden light welled up in her right eye.

"That's right... it is indeed a real world, not an illusory method."

A flash of surprise crossed Saintess Jiang Nian's eyes.

According to the intelligence she knew, the opponent was a disciple of the Master of the Virtual Tower and was best at virtual reality methods.

"It seems to have fused space-time, causality... is it a talent ability? A pity the power of faith is spent, and the Eye of Truth-Breaking can only exert its most basic effects. Forget it, let's test it first..."

Thinking this, the black death energy in Saintess Jiang Nian's left eye emerged once more.

The massive corpses of the Zerg Swarm that had previously died in the explosions swayed as they climbed up, with a large portion of them charging straight toward the restored steel defensive line.

Seeing this, Leviathan Academy, which had suffered heavy losses, was in no hurry to act.

While gathering the remaining Zerg Swarm to guard the few remaining Nydus Worm portals, they also rapidly hatched and supplemented new warriors.

The methods of both sides were somewhat beyond their imagination; it was perfect to let them fight first and see how things went.

"This alone won't be enough."

Standing at the entrance of the command room, Zhang Huaiyuan watched the surging undead Zerg Swarm, his mind moving slightly.

A special fluctuation connected to the world in an unseen way spread out.

"Rule Added: In this world, technological weapons and battle armor receive the highest degree of reinforcement..."

"Rule Added: In this world, no matter what kind of existence it is, it will manifest a 'Health Bar,' and any attack will deal at least one point of forced damage..."

"Rule Added: ..."

That's right.

Zhang Huaiyuan's trump card was the special ability "God's Game" that he had used to defeat the Xuanjian Sect.

It could digitize everything within the current world; life, laws, items, and science could all be quantified.

Furthermore, rules could be added within a reasonable range.

Of course, its activation conditions were also very harsh, requiring the entire world to reach 100% gamification progress.

—This was originally impossible to complete in such a short period of time.

However, this trial world happened to be a low-level real planet modification, and it had been extracted from its original universe to exist independently.

So, when Zhang Huaiyuan first landed and discovered that abilities like "True Sight" still existed, he had a vague idea.

After all, given his current level, analyzing a low-level world planet was easy.

And the facts were as he expected; when he traveled to the ruins space via consciousness to study and upgraded a subject, it indeed triggered the analysis of the gamification ability.

Unlike analyzing an entire universe, a mere low-level planet completed the full digitization process almost instantly, placing him in an invincible position.

"A pity Senior Talix and Junior Fang entered with projected bodies and cannot be resurrected."

Zhang Huaiyuan shook his head regretfully, his gaze turning toward the battlefield.

He saw the dark red undead Zerg Swarm sweeping across the landscape.

Although they were already dead, their bodies seemed to still possess the instincts of the Zerg Swarm, featuring a special propulsion system.

Despite being incredibly dense, they stacked upon each other, perfectly filling every gap without affecting the rhythm of the charge, and soon reached the base of the restored steel fortresses.

"The enemy is here! They're everywhere!"

"Then fire everywhere!"

Swish!

The turrets, sensing the intrusion, instantly swiveled their barrels. Accompanied by the roar of heavy metal and spraying flames, a rate of fire exceeding 1,200 rounds per second poured out simultaneously!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The first batch of undead Insect Beasts charging at the front were blown apart in an instant, their bones crushed into powder.

Even the armored undead insects covered in thick shells were no exception, failing to hold out for even a second.

Many bullets even passed through their bodies, continuing to kill the undead Zerg Swarm behind them.

What should have been an evenly matched battle had actually turned into a one-sided slaughter!

"How is this possible!"

The people from Leviathan Academy, watching from afar through the falcon's vision, were shocked once again.

One must know that the armor of an Ironclad Bug could easily resist anti-tank guns and missiles. Even if the undead version was quite a bit weaker than the original, it shouldn't be destroyed in an instant under a barrage of gunfire.

"Something's wrong... the rules have changed. The power of technological weapons has been enhanced... and all other powers have been weakened. Just... how was this done!"

As elites of Leviathan Academy, they quickly discovered where the problem lay.

If they were in the outside world, they could also achieve this by relying on sufficient resources and high-level equipment, but this was a trial world. In just over a year, how could the opponent possibly achieve this!

"Underlying rule changes?"

On the other side, through the special power of her eyes, Saintess Jiang Nian could see much more clearly than the people from Leviathan Academy.

She tentatively reached out her right hand, a wisp of golden flame dancing on her slender, fair fingertip.

"The power has been weakened by 72%. It's just near the limit of what this world can maintain while still following the most basic operational logic. Looking at it this way, it shouldn't be unsolvable. Let's test it a bit more..."

Saintess Jiang Nian put away some interesting things she had collected from the locals, her expression becoming slightly solemn as a brilliant light suddenly erupted from her right eye.

A pair of illusory white wings slowly condensed from her back, waving with a faint golden halo.

Her already exquisite face appeared exceptionally holy at this moment, as if a true heavenly god had descended.

"God's Blessing!"

Opening her beautiful mouth slightly, an infinite light suddenly broke through the barriers from an unknown heaven and poured down.

All the charging undead Insect Beasts were instantly draped in a layer of special light, their auras exploding.

The undead Ironclad Bugs, which originally couldn't stand their ground, seemed to regain their prestige. They actually withstood the dense rain of bullets for a full ten seconds before finally falling.

Many swift Claw Bugs took the opportunity to get close to the base of the turrets under cover, fiercely tearing at the alloy-cast fortresses.

Bang! Bang!

In an instant, the sounds of mechanical explosions rose one after another.

"To be able to simultaneously provide such a powerful buff to over a billion undead, and the energy fluctuations on her show no signs of weakening... No... this is power coming from beyond the heavens!"

Zhang Huaiyuan's expression also froze slightly, but he immediately realized something.

"As expected, I knew this Saintess from the Monastery wouldn't be easy to deal with... But fortunately, my methods don't stop here."
